Sidechain with sonitus gate

Hallo everybody,
i'm running sonarX2 producer trail on my laptop.
I would like to use the sidechain input of the gate fx from sonitus. In audio track one i load the gate in the fx bin. After i chose the other audio track to put a new send to the sidechain input of the gate in it. But in the popup there is no option for the sidechain input.
What i do wrong? Anybody have an answer?
 
Best regards, Tomas

Yo folks. Absolutely don't know what is wrong.
Now i download the trial of CA 2A. With this one there is no problem. the sidechain works fine. So i can do what i want the sonitusfx gate or comp doesn't give me an sc input.
What's the next step??

...you may not have the capability in the trial to do side chain on the Sonitus stuff.

 
I suspect that the plugin bundle that gets included with trial versions of Sonar has not been updated since before sidechaining was first introduced.

Hi there,
anybody got a solution? Because the problem's unfortunately not solved.
Or must i accept that there are no sidechain inputs?
 
Best regards, Tomas

Yep, I'm with Bitflipper on this one as the Sidechain works great with the Sonitus Gate on 8.5 Pro for me too!  In fact, it has a ducking pre-set which can be modified & it works so well with less overhead than using a Compressor, that I use it all the time to get that ducking effect as it's really easy to see & modify exactly the envelope that you need for that pumping effect.
 
Must be your set-up or the trial version as it's not unusual for trial versions to have features disabled.
 
It's cheap enough as it's on sale currently & if you're worried about it being limited to only being suited to certain genres, don't be as it's used by Film Scorers to Rock & Pop Musos & Guitarists, Progressive House & Trance producers too so it's a very powerful DAW!
 
It also has Roland V-Vocal which I also use to great effect on chopping vocals & I find that as long as I render out the audio to a recorded wav stem, it works fine & doesn't crash.  It's a great Melodyne substitute.
 
Good luck!

Hi there,
@ Bitflipper,
i bought the FX suite separate at the online shop of cakewalk. It was an special offer. So if i got a older version from where to get the newest? Or must i contact the support?
Here is a link with a picture of the version number.

 
Bye, Tomas

This is weird! How about this?
 
Do you know how to scan your VST folder(s) and also organize them using custom lists? If so, then I would 1) make sure all your VST folder(s) are "pointed to" and scanned, including the Sonitus:FX Suite folder which may be separate than Sonar's defaults--set this up in Preferences; 2) manually re-scan the folders(s) in Preferences or use the little, downward-pointing arrow on the top of the Browser [this is important in subsequent steps]; 3) Within the menus of that little arrow, create a new custom list for audio-FX plugins by selecting "Manage Layouts"...within the utility window, find the Sonitus:FX Suite plugins and add them into the list; 4) Save the list; 5) in the Browser first go to Default All Plug-Ins then choose your new, custom list; 6) Try the Sonitus:FX Gate or Comp.
 
Hope that works!

O.k.,
at first thanks for your help. The problem is not removed. Maybe this feature is disabled in this version because it was an offer for 19,99€ at the online shop of CW ??
I will mail CW support and ask them whats going on. If this is not normaly mayby they give me another install package.
Thanks.
 
Best regards, Tomas

Yes Kev,
i try both versions in a project with the same result. No sc inputs.
Don't know what do. 
Mayby changes in the regestry???
